Have you heard about my fabulous partner? My fabulous partner is Jenny. Yesterday, we had a discussion and talked about each other. We learned new things and I am about to express them. I will be asking questions that will be answered right after. p.s. By the way, this is personal information. So… keep this between you and me.
How old is Jenny? Jenny is 12 years old, born in 1996, and is in Grade 7. She was born on October 9th, in Korea.
What is Jenny’s favourite kind of book? Her favourite kind of book is comic/graphic novels. Jenny’s favourite book is The Simpsons. She really likes it because it’s funny.
What is the best trick/ joke Jenny can show you? Well, it’s pretty amazing. She can move her ears like an elephant. She learned it from her father. Jenny learned how to do this trick in Grade 4. She will probably show her kids how to do it probably later in her life.
What about Jenny’s family? Jenny has five people in her family. Her mother, father, grandfather, and grandmother are her only members, but I’m sure she spends time with them a lot.
I chose Jenny as my partner because I can connect to her a lot. I have enjoyed learning about other people and I hope to do this activity again. We have lots of interests and these are just some of them.
Thank you for reading about my fabulous partner,
Reyna
